Real love is never a selfish emotion.
If you want something from someone -
especially if that something is sex -
what you are feeling is not true love.
True love is about wanting happiness for the person you love -
and not about seeking happiness for yourself.
Fortunately, in most cases our own loving presence
is the greatest gift we can give to a person we love.
Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing
we would choose never to see that person again
if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.

find an ample measure of my own joy.

find an ample measure of my own joy.

we have allowed ourselves to develop the mentality of slaves.

whose actions continue to exploit, despoil, and destroy us.

for the baby's laugh,
for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."
